However, the characteristic Department of Pediatrics1 and Radiology2, Chonnam patterns of HAMD during disease progression are not completely known, although National University Medical School, and Department much is known on the incidence of HAMD and on the treatment effects of bypass of Pediatrics3, School of Medicine, Chosun University, surgery. In a child who presented with HAMD and had no infarction or hemorrhage Gwangju, Republic of Korea till bypass surgery, we described the characteristic patterns of headache progression. At first presentation, the patient complained of severe bilateral headache despite mild stenosis only in the left internal carotid artery on brain magnetic resonance angiography. During all stages of progression, headache was severe and pressing in nature rather than throbbing. Nausea and vomiting were present even in the early stage, but photophobia, phonophobia and neck stiffness developed in the late stage. Headache was aggravated by menstruation and was relieved by analgesics and to- piramate in the early stage, although the medication failed to provide relief when the headache increased in frequency and duration. Key Words: Moyamoya disease, Headache, Child Introduction Moyamoya disease (MD), a slowly progressive cerebrovascular occlusive disease of the distal internal carotid and cerebral arteries, is characteristically accompanied with puff-like collateral vessels at the base of the brain1-4). According to the report of Submitted: 21 May, 2014 Revised: 20 June, 2014 Kim et al., headache was observed at presentation in 33% of 410 patients with Accepted: 28 June, 2014 pediatric MD5). Headache was the third most common symptoms in pediatric MD following transient ischemic attacks (55.9%) and infarction (39%)5). In their study, Correspondence to Young Ok Kim, MD, PhD Department of Pediatrics, Chonnam National University the Headache associated with moyamoya disease (HAMD) was defined as severe Medical School, 671, Jebongro, Dong-gu, Gwangju, headache, that disturbed daily activity, required rest or medication, and occurred at 501-757, Republic of Korea. least once a month5).

They observed nausea or vomiting in 27.3% of patients with HAMD, eyeball pain in 6.8% and ab dominal pain in 4.5%6). Headache was localized only in 11.4% of patients and was provoked in 9.1% by hyperventilation6).
